STCC Acceptable Payment Arrangements

Payment In Full

Students can pay their entire balance in full though STCCNet (The Campuswide Portal) or at Student Financial Services. If a student registers for additional credits after their initial payment in full, they must pay for those credits. Partial payments are not considered an acceptable payment arrangement and will not save a student's schedule from being deleted. Please note: When paying with credit/debit card there is a 2.4% (minimum $1.00) non-refundable service fee.

Completed Financial Aid File (Fall and Spring Students only):

Students who may have not been awarded financial aid must have a completed financial aid file to be considered as having payment arrangements. If a student's file is reviewed and becomes incomplete prior to the start of classes, the student must complete their file again or make a different STCC Acceptable Payment Arrangement. Students will be notified of their file becoming incomplete by mail or by STCC e-mail. In addition, if students don't agree to take a loan they will not be considered to have a complete file.

Financial Aid

Pending Financial Aid is considered to be a STCC acceptable payment arrangement. Students who are awarded financial aid can view and compare their awarded amount to their bill amount by logging into STCCNet (The Campuswide Portal) and clicking on "View My Bill/Financial Aid or Make a Payment" under Financial Information.

Please Note: If the student's aid is not enough to cover their balance, the student is responsible to pay the remaining balance. In addition, if a student is not making satisfactory academic progress they could lose their eligibility for their pending aid and they will need to make a different STCC Acceptable Payment Arrangement.

Payment Plan

Assisting our students in meeting their financial obligations is one of our top priorities. STCC provides a monthly payment plan through Nelnet Business Solutions. Students can enroll in this interest-free monthly payment plan by logging in to their STCCNet account (The Campuswide Portal) and clicking on "Payment Plan" under the Financial Information Section.

Please Note:

Payment Plans are not considered an acceptable payment arrangement for the winter session.

Springfield Technical Community College accepts payments from a "Third Party". Students must submit a letter or voucher from the third party indicating the amount that will be paid and contact information. All payments will be due within 30 days from the time the College bills the third party.

Please Note:

Students are ultimately responsible for any tuition and fees not covered by the Third Party.

All letters and vouchers must be submitted on company letterhead informing the College of an outside scholarship for which you have qualified. The letter must include the amount of the scholarship, an address to send the invoice, a contact name, and phone number. If the scholarship does not cover the entire cost of your bill, you must pay for the remaining balance.

If a third party is paying for your tuition and fees, there cannot be any restrictions on payments such as grades, number of credits, etc.

Veteran's Affairs and Military Benefits

All new students eligible to receive V.A. benefits must contact The Office of Veterans' Affairs after receiving their acceptance letters and registering for classes. All returning students receiving V.A. benefits must contact the Veterans' Affairs Office after pre-registration for the upcoming semester. Please go to the veterans page for detailed information on these benefits. For questions regarding Veteran's Benefits please contact Akeilee Murchison at (413) 755-5343 or by email at agmurchison@stcc.edu.
